Following on from the all-time fav thread who was your first Coventry hero, and why?
Mine was Terry Gibson. Scored goals for fun in a struggling side including a penalty in my first ever game in 1984.
I was the only Terry Gibson among a sea of Ian Rush's in the playground of St Johns primary in Weymouth during our lunchtime kick abouts. All the p*ss taking stopped for one week commencing 12th December 1983. Ah, the memories...
First one was probably Ernie Hunt. Don't remember too much at all about Ian Gibson. Can only remember going to one game where the fans were chanting for him to be brought on.
Ernie Hunt could be a genius on the ball at times and was a big favourite of the city faithful, so I reckon it is him for me. First ever City hero. Bill Glazier came a very close second though. What a fantastic player. Best keeper we have ever had.
The first hero ....... The Iron Man himself ..... George Curtis
Later on when I began my amatuer football career it became Bill Glazier
As I stated on a previous post .... Bill had fly paper hands .
The amount of crosses he took cleanly under pressure was very impressive .
Tommy Hutch was also a special player .
I used to see him regularly in The Tollgate and he always had time for you .
I always liked Dion Dublin and Oggy in the Nineties teams
As for the current bunch
Well !!!!
